It's been a good ride, folks.

I haven't been a big member here, but I've contributed here and there. I had a great run with the Nexus One; it's easily the best phone I've ever owned to date. However, it's time to move on up (feature-wise), so I traded it for a Samsung Vibrant. I'm expecting it to be more "locked down" and such, but after I got my Dad one for Christmas (in place of the Nexus S he really wanted; doesn't seem to care), I knew I had to have it.

Thanks for the awesome support and community!

Good luck with the Captivate, my friend has a Galaxy S i9000, and he loves it, so I'm sure you'll be fine!

I'm also thinking about leaving my Nexus as well, this battery life is seriously starting to get irritating. Trying to do anything to improve battery life becomes extremely repetitive really quickly..

LOL that's mostly an Android problem. Perhaps you should consider replacing it?

Could you please elaborate a bit, and tell us which features does the vibrant have that the N1 lacks that made you move?

Battery life concerns were easily fixed for me by getting a tiny spare for $5 and keeping it in your wallet / pocket.

I don't actually need it (N1 lasts all day and I'm a pretty heavy power user) but its nice to have the backup just in case

Why on earth would you get a Vibrant (complete with non-functional GPS) instead of a Nexus S?!

Because the Nexus S has a non-present SD card expansion slot and costs more?

The screen and graphics processor are better, that's all.

The same or better than the nexus s?

I'm thinking of doing the same then loading a custom rom on it. Really want front facing camera and s-amoled.

But not looking fwd to Nexus S prices when it hits Canada. Still want Gingerbread though, even in custom rom form.

With the Atrix [especially], Arc, Infuse and Inspire and the verge of being released, people are still going out and buying old sub-par Android devices? Makes no sense, if you waited this long, you could hold off for another couple of weeks.

Fixed (or should that be )

 

[mrcrassic]

I like the Nexus S, but the lack of a SD card slot is a real deal-killer for me, even more so when you consider the fact that it's practically the same hardware as the other Galaxy S phones currently out. Gingerbread is nice, but not $500+ nice; plus, Wi-Fi calling doesn't work with it, which is a very useful feature for me.

I'd never go for Vibrant.

NS vs Vibrant
same screen
same CPU+GPU
NS has 16 GB of storage wich is more than enough I dunno what ppl have on their phones so that they need more storage...
NS has Ginger 2.3
NS is being adopted by custom firmware builders on a bigger scale than Vibrant specialy CyanogenMod 7
Wifi calling can be added in custom roms if you are on the right carrier ofcourse

probably more stuff but this comes to mind first.

I only upgrade when my phone (PC) stops doing what I want it to do.

UMA/GAN hasn't been ported over to Gingerbread yet and probably won't be for a while. (It still hasn't been issued to T-Mobile devices other than the myTouch4G and G2.) Until the compatible libraries start floating around (i.e. when both of those phones get an update, or when T-Mobile chooses a new phone to include it with), Gingerbread users are left in the cold here. (Unless you're idea of wifi calling is getting a different number and a Gizmo5 account, with some backend work to blend it with GVoice).

Welcome to the Vibrant world, but if your into hacking and such, I would of went with the SNS (nexus S) there is a lot more development going on over there I remember when the Vibrant had that much Development.
